New current account with bonus? (not switching)

Hi

My question is simply is there a bank offering ANY sort of welcome bonus (cash or otherwise) to new customer who are NOT switching but simply opening a new account as a brand new customer?

I need to create a dummy account to use to take advantage of the generous switch offers like Yorkshire £150 without the hassle of loosing the main current account with Santander.

Might as well try and make something on the dummy account. If there isn't a deal I want to make sure the dummy account doesn't affect any switch deals so I need to open it with a bank that NEVER does them - I'm thinking HSBC - anyone ever seen them offer anything? I haven't.

Cheers
